AFI KLM E&M and Air Austral recently signed an agreement to provide component support for the airline's fleet of three A220 aircraft. The terms of the contract include parts availability and repair, as well as engineering support and adaptive services management.
"We designed this offer to free Air Austral from as many constraints as possible. Availability, including 7/24/365 AOG support, remains a key success factor in ensuring day-to-day operations, but we are going further with dedicated engineering management that is as close as possible to Air Austral's needs," says Aymeric MECHIN, Vice President Sales Middle East & Africa.
"When it comes to maintenance, AFI KLM E&M is a long-standing partner of Air Austral that we know we can rely on. The introduction of a new aircraft is always a joy but also an operational challenge for an airline. With the A220 and the AFI KLM E&M support, we can focus on our operations and meet the challenges of today and tomorrow," says Benoît Schafer, Executive Vice President Operations and Maintenance of Air Austral.
